It would yield four blocks flush left stacked vertically (and would be 
invalid html unless you change the id to a class).
You could use multiple classes to move the individual blocks.
Something like this (off the top of my head and not tested)
css
p {margin: 0;}
.text {border: 1px solid red;}
.c1 {margin: 0 0 0 20px;}
.c2 {margin: 20px 0 0 100px;}
.c3 {margin: 100 px 0 0 50px;}
.c4 {margin: 30px 0 0 75px;}
html
<div class="text  c1"><p>one</p></div>
<div class="text  c2"><p>two</p></div>
<div class="text  c3"><p>three</p></div>
<div class="text  c4"><p>four</p></div>

As always a clickable link to your attempt or and image that shows 
whatever it is you are trying to do will get you better answers...
